    I just tried in Firefox (inspect element), setting background-color to #004488;
    That's starting to look in a direction I'd like even better than the current red. (Yes I voted blue ;-)

    I just tried it and found I don't like that blue ;-) However playing a bit with the colours I found #aa9933 gives a nice green which is far enough from the Slashdot green that I doubt it would generate any trademark problems.

      I tried your color, and I'm pretty sure our monitors happen to fall on different ends of the calibration spectrum.
      Which indicates a problem: how to pick a color that looks acceptable on most default-calibrated monitors?

      (For simplicity's sake, we can reduce it to "looking acceptable on both Maxwell demon's monitor and on FakeBeldin's monitor)
